LIGHT ON C.O.D. SYSTEM

(Special to THE SUN) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. “The cash on delivery system seems to be unfair, as shown by the followingpoints,’* says a report presented to the New Zealand Farmers’ Union Executive to-da3 r . “(1) The New Zealand Government is acting as agents for overseas trades to the detriment of New Zealand traders and taxpayers. (2) The State must lose more revenue from the expenditure abroad of £97,000 a year which would probably be spent in the Dominion, than what is gained by the Postal Department. (3) The system lends itself to the evasions of the Customs regulations, because the vaue of each parcel being comparatively small, less care is taken in its examination. “It seems rather unjust to retailers in our smaller towns, who have comparatively small businesses, that the greatest number of parcels received in proportion to population is in the smaller towns, as the following figures for 1927 show: —Auckland, 1,580 parcels, value '£5,736; Wellington, 3,049, £10,815; Gisborne, 1,433, £5,081; Westport, 1,652, £7,369. “Under the cash on delivery .system, the British merchant obviously becomes the competitor of the New Zealand merchant, but on the most unfair basis.”
